Online statistics to blow the mind

Reading that global digital payments are predicted to reach 726 billion transactions by 2020 is mind-blowing, indicating the huge movement towards and growing acceptance of the online purchase of goods and services.

It’s a humongous shift within a comparatively short time. It is highlighted in a World Payments Report by Capgemini, which says that global digital payments volumes are predicted to increase by an average of 10.9% in the run-up to 2020, reaching approximately 726 billion transactions. Current estimations put the world population at 7.6 billion (October 2017).

The increase in global digital payments is said to be greatly influenced by retail customers who are increasingly willing to adopt online and mobile channels to embrace next-generation payment methods.

The same report also reveals that by 2019, it is estimated that in the region of 50% of transactions carried out using a credit or debit card will be made either online or via mobile.

The UK Internet Advertising Bureau has just released its latest UK digital advertising spend figures for January to June 2017, which include online, mobile and tablet.

In summary, the figures show:

At half year, the total UK digital advertising market is worth £5.56bn, up 13.8% year-on-year

Mobile is driving almost all growth in the market

At £2.37bn, mobile now makes up 43% of all digital

Online video has overtaken banners as the largest display format, up 46% year-on-year
